Didn't the massive cock-up on his part happen after the corona cuts? The tweets that led to all the backstage heat and pulling the Forgotten Sons were in reaction to the George Floyd protests.

Yes, but they've fired a lot of backstage people, live event crew and folks like Zelina Vega since the talent cuts, if they wanted him gone he would have been gone among those releases. If they didn't cut Lars and Drake, he was never on the chopping block over this.

Hell, they rehired Eva Marie after she did the same shit.

I mean, on the flip side, they are trying to make Main Event relevant again so that should be...praised? Nod of appreciation at? Positive shrug?

I mean, Keith Lee’s on there this week, so who the f*** knows?

...That's really not informative either way, is it? Goddamn this company.

So, Jaxson Ryker finally resurfaced on TV this week as Elias's roadie, and the first things he does is give R-Truth a death stare and beats up Gran Metalik and Akira Tozawa.

Of course, what else would you expect from the company that booked Lars to feud with Lucha House Party?

So the one time WWE decides Main Event is canon is with Jaxson God-f******-damn Ryker.

The fact this is consistently the pattern with anyone where there's dicey pasts and racist comments is f***ing appalling.

Even if it wasn't intentional on their part, they really have a complete inability to read the f***ing room and it's showed by who they continue to feature on TV.

An alleged sexual abuser and someone who follows some pretty racist leaning ideals get TV time over people like Angel Garza ir literally anyone else who isn't an issue for PR. That's WWE for you.

This is a perfect PSA about the dangers of electricity. Do YOU want to be stuck with a racist bodyguard, little Jimmy? Then don’t be sticking things into electrical appliances.

Friendly reminder that, before his social media f***-up, the initial plan was to have the Forgotten Sons feud with New Day.

You have to imagine, to somebody out there, it must appear as though WWE insists on having f***ing Gunner Jaxson Ryker beat on people of color. Talk about unfortunate implications.

Keep in mind that this was also set to go down right around a time where the very idea of a vaguely-white supremacist biker gang gimmick beating up on the fun-loving Black tag team would just be the an incredibly bad look. “Unfortunate implications” would’ve undersold just how awful it would’ve been if the Forgotten Sons never got pulled from TV.

Beyond how problematic Ryker is, that segment was complete butt all the way around. Just give us Elias & Truth in an undercard feud.

Since they love their wacky tag teams so much, I'm surprised they haven't teamed Elias and Truth up yet.

I was thinking about this earlier and it hit me, I know why they brought in gunner and kept him on the main roster, knowing how much of an effwit he is. His politics helps, sure, but the reality is they want unlikeable cretins like Gunner and Lars because if the roster hate on another, they're less angry at management and less likely to present a unified front. Look at the 90s lockerroom, Vince fermented the hate between Bret and Shawn, the midcard hated the kliq and there was less anger about the small payouts and shrinking dates than there should have been. Talent are losing dates, wages are shrinking, co-workers are getting canned, opportunities to make money elsewhere are being attacked, but guys like Drake, Gunner, Road Dogg and Lars will give them other things to be mad about, focal points for that anger that aren't hunter or Vince.
